If you have good pickups for your guitar will it help u do harmonics better cuz i suck at it.

I'm no expert, but I don't think it will. I mean, if you can do them on an acoustic/ unplugged, I don't think the pickups matter.
I suggest: Practice, practice, practice. It's a technique like anything else, therefore you need to build up muscle memory in your hand so that you can just spontaneously throw harmonics into your solos as you please. Maybe approach it like a workout session, except for your hand rather than some other muscle. Do a few sets of maybe fifteen or twenty reps per day. Something like that.
I'm still pretty terrible at them, but I did get better at them when I practiced them faithfully.

harmonics depend on your equipment and your technique. if you have a good tube amp with a good level of distortion and a guitar with medium action and good pickups harmonics sound easier.

Artificial (pinch) harmonics are more amplified when you have a hefty amount of distortion. When you turn down the distortion you really have to try harder to get them and even then it sounds WAY different then when you have distortion. When you do them on a clean channel it kinda sounds like a wheeze type sound.
My suggestion will be to play on a clean channel until you can make it sound good (and this goes with practicing in general). then once you get the hang of it turn on the distortion. The reason for this is because clean channels are BR00TALLY truthful. If you suck you will know it in an instant. People tend to hide their sucky playing in the distortion now days.
